2014: Year of the Jacket?

Of course I didn't start this jacket in 2014, but I did finish it then. I came home from my lengthy vacation with this partly finished on my cutting table. All the pieces were there, but I have no idea where the pattern is. So there is no lining. Oh well, this is the second jacket with a self drafted collar, which I no longer like so much. I had to make something because the neckline is so low. Anyway I am certainly perfecting my zipper insertions and even though the pattern is missing I'm hoping to make more jackets with similar lines. I like the general length and princess style. The wrinkles in this picture are purely from my stance as I was in a hurry just to stick this in the closet and get on with my next jacket...for my new tennis warm up suit. The weather is telling me I need that outfit sooner rather than later!
